Stepping back

Seriously, I just needed a break from everything which is why I haven't updated this blog in so long.

I was listening to a program the other day and the Pastor was saying how some people rely heavily on Christian programs, books, ministry groups etc. to get them through but spend very little time in God's word and prayer and just time to themselves. And I realized that was starting to describe me.

I'd gotten semi addicted to face book and blogging and in my spare time, when the children and hubby were sleep that's what I've been doing and I realized it was beginning to be too much. I listened to my ministries while washing clothes but was spending very little time with Christ himself, in prayer and Bible study. And this should be primary not secondary.

I actually love Bible study but lately I'd been squeezing it in instead of making time for it. So I decided to take a two day hiatus from face book. Kind of like a fast if you will. I wanted to use this time to concentrate on other things and to fit in Bible Study. And not just a rushed verse here and there but real Bible reading. I have the IPhone now and it's so easy to just click on that app and the other apps on my phone. My People app, my TMZ app etc. Just stuff that takes up a ton of time with no real benefit. So I deleted a few apps that were time consumers and decided to take a step back from face book (by not clicking on it).

And you know it was one of the best things for me. So much so I'm going to start doing it more often. I'm not leaving face book completely. It's a really great tool for keeping in touch with people but I have to set limits on that and everything else in my life that's starting to get in the way of what's most important. Time with my Saviour, my husband, and my children.
